1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Nuclear transfer to eggs or oocytes provides a potential route for cell-replacement therapies because oocytes directly reprogram transplanted mammalian somatic-cell nuclei such that they have an embryo-like pattern of gene expression. This includes a large increase in the mRNA level of the stem-cell marker gene oct4. We have developed a novel procedure to identify new proteins that greatly increase the level of oct4 mRNA upon nuclear transfer. We have isolated Xenopus oocyte proteins that bind to the regulatory region of the mouse oct4 gene and identified these by mass spectrometry. The proteins include the retinoic-acid-receptor gamma, a known repressor of oct4 transcription, and Tpt1, a cancer-associated factor. The depletion of transcripts of retinoic-acid receptor gamma from oocytes increases oct4 and nanog transcription as expected, and depletion of tpt1 transcripts in oocytes reduces oct4 and nanog transcription in injected HeLa nuclei. An elevation of tpt1 transcripts in oocytes results in an earlier activation of oct4 transcription. Therefore, we identify a novel role for tpt1 in activating pluripotency genes upon nuclear transfer. Our results help to elucidate the mechanism by which somatic-cell nuclei are reprogrammed to have an embryo-like pattern of gene expression.
